Book 2 in The Cole Harker Investigations
by R.P. Cross
Millhaven looks like the kind of town that doesn't keep secrets — until a sixteen-year-old girl vanishes and her phone goes dead at the edge of town. Cole Harker, a disgraced detective turned private investigator, takes the case when the official search stalls and the Whitfields run out of people willing to look. Grace Whitfield's last cell signal cuts out at the edge of town, and the search stalls when half of Millhaven turns out to be hiding something. Cole has to separate the real trail from a town full of unrelated lies — before whoever has Grace decides her silence is permanent. What looks like a simple missing persons case quickly becomes a procedural maze. Cell logs, pool records, a high school coach with a convenient schedule, and a Gazette reporter who remembers more than she should all point in different directions. Cole works the phones, the fax machine, and the back booths of the Corner Diner, piecing together a timeline that the locals would rather leave buried. Every interview peels back another layer of small-town loyalty, and every lead pulls him closer to someone who has already decided how this ends. Cold Signal is a grounded private investigator mystery built for readers who like to think alongside the detective. The case resolves, but the personal cost lingers — and the next case in The Cole Harker Investigations is already waiting on the desk. Fans of Lee Child, Michael Connelly, and David Baldacci will feel right at home in Millhaven.
